The overnight chill left a patchy skin of ice on the creek. I was up earlier than usual and noticed that the orioles visited soon after dawn. The pine warblers weren't far behind. I was having problems with focus because of the lighting so a brown thrasher and a blue jay got away. I was more successful with the song sparrow. The white throated sparrow mostly hid under the furniture.
When we got back from taking my car in for inspection, a downy woodpecker had the suet. Goldfinches returned to the sweet gum tree. Bluebirds posed and were joined by a blue jay. The mockingbird tried to be everywhere.
By lunch time pelicans were fishing again. Hooded mergansers joined them. Mallards paddled around on their own business.
